understanding the what, why, and how

Acne

What is it

Acne is a common skin condition that manifests as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cystic bumps. It often occurs on the face, chest, and back, causing physical discomfort and sometimes emotional distress due to its appearance.

Why it happens

Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormonal imbalances, stress, diet, gut health, and lifestyle factors can all contribute to the frequency and severity of breakouts. It’s not just a surface-level issue—acne often reflects deeper imbalances in the body.

How it’s treated

Our providers take a personalized approach to treating acne, offering tailored solutions based on your skin’s needs. Treatments may include laser therapy to reduce inflammation and bacteria, microneedling to reduce scarring, naturopathic remedies to address internal imbalances, facials to cleanse and restore the skin, or medical-grade skincare products to support ongoing care at home.

Red or brown spots

What is it

Red and brown spots, also known as hyperpigmentation, redness, and spider veins, are areas where the skin produces more melanin or where blood vessels are more prominent. Red and brown spots vary in size and colour, appearing on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, chest, and legs.

Why it happens

Sun exposure is a primary cause, stimulating melanin. Hormonal changes, inflammation from injuries or acne, genetics, and aging can also contribute to the development of these spots.

How it’s treated

Skinnovate offers laser resurfacing and fractional laser, which removes damaged skin layers and stimulates collagen. Chemical peels exfoliate the top layers, promoting cell turnover to lighten hyperpigmentation. Our team will recommend the best treatment for your specific skin concerns. Laser Toning is part of the process since it targets reds and browns. View our reVise package to get started.

Hair Loss

What is it

Hair loss, or alopecia, is a condition characterized by the thinning or loss of hair from the scalp or other parts of the body. It can manifest in various patterns, from gradual thinning to sudden loss, and can affect both men and women of all ages.

Why it happens

Hair loss can stem from a variety of factors, including genetics (hereditary baldness), hormonal changes (such as during menopause or pregnancy), medical conditions (like thyroid disorders or alopecia areata), stress, certain medications, and nutritional deficiencies. Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment.

How it’s treated

Skinnovate offers PRP therapy, topical exosomes, and laser hair growth stimulation. PRP uses your own platelets to stimulate follicles. Exosomes, applied topically, deliver growth factors. Laser therapy boosts blood flow and encourages hair growth. Our team will create a personalized plan to help you achieve fuller, healthier hair. View our reBuild package to get started.

Stretch marks

What is it

Stretch marks are a type of scarring that occurs when the skin is stretched beyond its capacity, causing tears in the dermis. They often appear as lines or streaks on the skin, initially red or purple and gradually fading to a lighter color. Common areas include the abdomen, breasts, hips, and thighs.

Why it happens

Stretch marks are primarily caused by rapid stretching of the skin, such as during pregnancy, growth spurts, or significant weight gain or loss. Hormonal changes, genetics, and certain medical conditions can also increase susceptibility. When the skin stretches too quickly, the collagen and elastin fibers break, leading to the formation of these visible marks.

How it’s treated

We offer microneedling and dual wavelength laser treatments to improve the appearance of stretch marks. Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and reducing the visibility of stretch marks. Dual wavelength laser targets the color and texture of stretch marks, promoting collagen remodeling and a smoother skin surface. Our team will tailor a treatment plan to address your specific concerns.

Poor sleep

What is it

Poor sleep encompasses a range of issues, including difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, waking up too early, or experiencing non-restorative sleep. This can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating, impacting overall well-being and health.

Why it happens

Poor sleep can be caused by various factors, including stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, underlying medical conditions, poor sleep hygiene, and lifestyle choices such as excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption. Identifying the specific triggers is key to addressing the issue effectively.

How it’s treated

We offer a holistic approach to address poor sleep. Our naturopathic remedies focus on identifying and addressing the root causes through lifestyle adjustments, nutritional support, and natural supplements. IV therapy can replenish essential nutrients depleted by stress and poor sleep, helping to restore balance and promote relaxation for improved sleep quality. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized plan to improve your sleep and overall well-being. View our reSt package to get started.

Gut issues

What is it

Gut issues encompass a wide range of digestive problems, including bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). These issues can significantly impact comfort, energy levels, and overall health, affecting nutrient absorption and immune function.

Why it happens

Gut issues can arise from various factors, including poor diet, stress, food sensitivities, infections, imbalances in gut bacteria, and underlying medical conditions. Identifying the specific triggers is crucial for effective management and relief.

How it’s treated

At Skinnovate, we take a comprehensive approach to address gut issues. IV therapy can deliver essential nutrients and hydration directly, supporting gut health and overall well-being. Naturopathic remedies focus on identifying and addressing the root causes through dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted natural supplements to restore gut balance and function. Our team will create a personalized plan to improve your gut health and overall vitality. View our reBalance package to get started.

Low immunity

What is it

Low immunity refers to a weakened immune system, making the body more susceptible to infections, frequent colds, and illnesses. Symptoms can include frequent sickness, slow recovery, chronic fatigue, and increased inflammation. A compromised immune system can impact overall health and well-being.

Why it happens

Low immunity can be caused by various factors, including stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, certain medical conditions, medications, and nutritional deficiencies. Identifying the underlying causes is crucial for strengthening the immune system effectively.

How it’s treated

At Skinnovate, we offer a multi-faceted approach to address low immunity. IV therapy can deliver essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly to boost immune function and energy levels. Naturopathic remedies focus on identifying and addressing the root causes through dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted supplements to strengthen the immune system naturally. Our team will create a personalized plan to enhance your immune health and overall resilience. View our reNew package to get started.

Stress

What is it

Stress is the body’s natural response to demands or pressures. While short-term stress can be beneficial, chronic stress can lead to physical and emotional symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, headaches, sleep problems, and a weakened immune system, impacting overall well-being.

Why it happens

Stress can be triggered by various factors, including work pressures, relationship issues, financial concerns, and daily life demands. When these stressors become persistent, they can overwhelm the body’s ability to cope, leading to chronic stress.

How it’s treated

At Skinnovate, we address stress through naturopathic remedies that focus on identifying and managing the root causes of stress through lifestyle adjustments, stress management techniques, and natural supplements. IV therapy can replenish essential nutrients depleted by stress, promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety, and restoring balance to support overall well-being. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized plan to manage stress effectively and improve your quality of life. View our reSet package to get started.

Facial volume loss

What is it

Facial volume loss is a natural part of the aging process where the fat pads in the face diminish, leading to a less plump, more hollowed appearance. This can result in sagging skin, flattened cheeks, and more prominent wrinkles, contributing to a tired or aged look.

Why it happens

The primary cause of facial volume loss is the natural decrease in collagen and elastin production as we age. This, combined with the loss of subcutaneous fat, leads to a reduction in facial fullness and support. Genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors can also play a role in the rate and extent of volume loss.

How it’s treated

Skinnovate offers biostimulators and fillers to address facial volume loss. Biostimulators encourage natural collagen production, gradually restoring volume for long-lasting, natural results. Fillers provide immediate volume restoration, smoothing wrinkles and enhancing contours. Our team will tailor a plan to your unique needs, helping you achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance. View our reFresh package to get started.

Pain

What is it

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with tissue damage. It can be acute, lasting a short time, or chronic, persisting for months or even years. Pain can manifest in various ways, from a sharp ache to a dull throbbing, and can significantly impact quality of life and daily activities.

Why it happens

Pain can arise from numerous factors, including injuries, inflammation, nerve damage, underlying medical conditions like arthritis, and even psychological factors. Identifying the root cause of the pain is crucial for developing an effective treatment strategy and achieving lasting relief.

How it’s treated

At Skinnovate, we offer a comprehensive approach to pain management. Naturopathic remedies, IV therapy, and targeted supplements work to address underlying inflammation and support the body’s natural healing processes. In some cases, Prolo therapy, laser therapy, or PRP may be used to target specific areas of pain, reduce inflammation, and stimulate tissue repair. Our team will create a personalized plan to alleviate your pain and improve your overall well-being. View our reGen package to get started.

Scars

What is it

Scars are fibrous tissue that forms to replace normal skin after an injury. They can vary in appearance, from flat and pale to raised and discolored (hypertrophic). Scars are a natural part of the healing process but can be a cosmetic concern depending on their size, location, and severity.

Why it happens

Scars result from the body’s attempt to repair damaged skin. When the dermis, the deeper layer of skin, is injured, the body produces collagen to close the wound. The amount and type of collagen produced can lead to variations in scar appearance. Factors like genetics, wound depth, and location can influence scar formation.

How it’s treated

Skinnovate offers microneedling and dual wavelength laser treatments to improve the appearance of scars. Microneedling stimulates collagen production, helping to smooth the scar’s texture and reduce its visibility. Dual wavelength laser targets the color and texture of scars, promoting collagen remodeling and a more even skin surface. Our team will assess your scar and recommend the most effective treatment plan to minimize its appearance.

Fine lines and wrinkles

What is it

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, appearing as shallow creases and deeper folds on the skin. They are most noticeable on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, and hands, and can contribute to an aged appearance.

Why it happens

The primary cause of fine lines and wrinkles is the natural decrease in collagen and elastin production as we age. Sun exposure, genetics, repetitive facial movements, and lifestyle factors like smoking can accelerate the development of these signs of aging.

How it’s treated

At Skinnovate, we offer a range of treatments to address fine lines and wrinkles. The Hydrafacial provides deep cleansing and hydration, improving skin texture. Microneedling stimulates collagen production to smooth fine lines. Dual wavelength laser targets wrinkles and promotes skin rejuvenation. Additionally, neuromodulators such as Neuromodulators can relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Bio-stimulators and skin boosters can also be used to soften fine lines and wrinkles. Our team will create a personalized plan to help you achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Skin laxity

What is it

Skin laxity refers to the loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin, often resulting in sagging, loose skin. This can be noticeable on the face, neck, and other areas of the body, contributing to an older appearance.

Why it happens

The primary cause of skin laxity is the natural decline in collagen and elastin production as we age. These proteins are responsible for skin’s structure and elasticity. Factors like sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle choices can also contribute to the loss of skin firmness over time.

How it’s treated

At Skinnovate, we offer skin tightening laser treatments to address skin laxity. These treatments use targeted laser energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process helps to tighten and firm the skin, reducing sagging and restoring a more youthful and toned appearance. These can be combined with bio-stimulators to improve results. Our experienced team will assess your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results. View our reStore package to get started.

Low energy

What is it

Low energy, also known as fatigue, is a feeling of tiredness or exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest. It can impact physical and mental performance, making it difficult to carry out daily activities and affecting overall quality of life.

Why it happens

Low energy can stem from various factors, including stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, underlying medical conditions, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies. Identifying the specific causes is crucial for addressing the issue effectively.

How it’s treated

At Skinnovate, we offer naturopathic remedies focused on identifying and addressing the root causes through lifestyle adjustments, nutritional support, and natural supplements. IV therapy can deliver essential vitamins, minerals, and hydration directly to replenish the body and boost energy levels. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized plan to restore your energy and vitality. View our reVitalize package to get started.

Weight gain/loss

What is it

Weight gain or loss refers to changes in body weight that can be significant or gradual. Unintentional weight changes can be a sign of underlying health issues, while intentional weight management often involves lifestyle adjustments and targeted interventions.

Why it happens

Weight gain can be caused by factors such as overeating, lack of physical activity, hormonal imbalances, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions. Weight loss can result from inadequate calorie intake, increased physical activity, medical conditions affecting absorption, stress, or hormonal imbalances. Identifying the root causes is essential for effective management.

How it’s treated

At Skinnovate, we offer a holistic approach to address weight concerns. Naturopathic remedies focus on identifying and addressing underlying factors through dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and natural supplements to support healthy weight management. IV therapy can provide essential nutrients and hydration, supporting overall well-being during weight management.
